Nokia Lumia 928 – Complete Features and Specifications

After tons of teasers and comparisons, Nokia finally, officially announced the Nokia Lumia 928, often rumoured to be the next Lumia flagship. However, the device is more of a upgrade to the last flagship, Nokia Lumia 20 than an actual ‘next flagship model’. Why do we say so? Read on to find out.

Nokia made it clear that the Lumia 928 is a phone that mainly focuses on the camera and video-shooting abilities. More than features, software or even specifications, Nokia grabbed every opportunity to promote the camera of Nokia Lumia 928. And with a valid cause. The Lumia 928 comes with a 8 MP rear end snapper with Carl Zeiss optics (obviously) and a Xenon flash. But more on that later.

On the specifications front, there are hardly any differences between the Nokia Lumia 928 and Nokia Lumia 920. The form of Nokia Lumia 928 is slightly different and definitely better than the predecessor. The Lumia 928 comes with an almost severe design with sharply curved edges and a flat front. The back of the phone is slightly curves to give a better grip. Overall, the design is an eye-pleaser and a pleasant upgrade.

The phone comes with a 4.5-inch AMOLED capacitive display with 768 x 1280 pixels resolution. Just like the Lumia 920, the Nokia Lumia 928 display comes with PureMotion HD and ClearBlack display. The phone runs on the Windows 8 platform as part of the Lumia series.

Nokia Lumia 928 comes with a dual core 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon processor under the hood. The internal memory is 32 GB and the phone does not come with a memory card slot. Neither are there any other variants, other than 32 GB. So 32 GB is all you’re stuck with. On the plus side though is the RAM. The phone comes with a 1 GB RAM. Though it’s not an addition as the Lumia 920 also supported a 1 GB, it shall be enough to support multi-tasking with relative ease.

The camera is the most important feature of the Nokia Lumia 928 and perhaps the only reason why Nokia launched a brand new device instead of continuing with the Lumia 920. As mentioned above, Nokia Lumia 928 comes with 8.7 MP rear end camera and a Xenon flash. While the Lumia 920 had a dual-LED flash, the next Lumia ups it. The phone is said to have best low-light shooting experience and also prevents noise. Same goes for video-recording at 720p@30fps.

Before the launch of Lumia 928, Nokia released teaser videos comparing the camera, audio and video features of the phone to top flagship devices. According to the videos, the Nokia Lumia 928 won hands down. However, the comparisons were made with the now outdated flagships, suggesting that the Nokia Lumia 928 is not the next flagship according to rumours but merely an upgrade.

On the connectivity front, the phone supports all normal connectivity options and is LTE activated. The phone comes with GRPS, EDGE< Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB port, etc. At 162 grams, the phone is definitely on the heavier side. Nokia Lumia 928 comes with a 2000 mAh battery.Once again, the battery is the same as that of the Lumia 920.

If the copy-cat specifications were not disappointing enough, the Nokia Lumia 928 has shed its ancestors vibrancy and will come in just two colours: black and white.

Nokia Lumia 928 might be a good phone but re-launch a brand new phone just for that Xenon flash?! We wonder what Nokia was thinking with the Lumia 928...
